As kids, we lose our baby teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, as adults, losing teeth is often due to injury. Gum disease leads to major tooth loss. Since losing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have problems eating. Problems articulating could occur. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile, or even your youthful features. You need a dedicated Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist in Shishmaref, AK who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help you on the road to a full smile.


First, we will connect you to an amazing dentist in your area. Once we do, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to assess your missing teeth. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For several missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete denture could be custom-made. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be stablized with titanium implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your alveolar bone and facial structure following losing a tooth.


If you live in the Shishmaref‘s neighborhoods and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us help. We can help you get started on receiving a dental prosthetic. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if many years have elapsed since that happened!


P. S. Please celebrate our dental professionals in Nashville, TN with us this week.

When you have a toothache, or a tooth that is chipped, you need treatment. Otherwise, the tooth could develop cavities and infections. Soon, there is a risk of not only a lost tooth, but a spread of infection to other teeth. But sometimes, the issue is beyond the stage to be treated with a restoration. Instead, the tooth could require immediate removal. At Doctors Network, our team can help you connect with a Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist in Shishmaref, AK who can offer a gentle tooth removal as needed.


As we discussed earlier, severe cavities or injury could be why a tooth needs extraction. But a dentist could also remove one that is loosened by periodontal disease. Removing a tooth could improve bite balance and chewing function. Extraction could also provide room for correcting misalignment! In many cases, this could prevent complications from wisdom teeth. Removing wisdom teeth prior to eruption helps preserve the balance and smile beauty. For people with advanced tooth loss, removing the last few teeth essentially paves the way for a full prosthetic. Your Shishmaref general dentist could use the procedure to improve the health, function, and surprisingly, sometimes the appearance of your smile.


Now that you understand when and why a tooth may need to be taken out, how do you seek care for one? Well, as mentioned above Doctors Network can locate a dentist in the Shishmaref, AK area. But if you don’t have a dental plan, you may worry about the cost. Fortunately, we have a financing option! Our dental membership plan is opened with an initial fee and maintained with a monthly fee. For some, this could cut the cost of care by up to ninety percent!

You probably have lots of friends who have had their wisdom tooth extracted and are eager to tell their experiences to you. While this can be helpful, it is still crucial to consult with a dentist or an oral surgeon. If you need these teeth extracted, it is important to have lots of information at your disposal. This will help you understand what to expect from the procedure and what you should look for in a dentist. Luckily, Doctors Network can help you connect with a great oral surgeon near you in Shishmaref, AK that accepts Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield.


The third molars are in the back of your mouth, and there is one on each quadrant. They typically appear between the ages of seventeen and twenty-five. Because wisdom teeth are the last adult teeth, their appearance can cause problems with your existing ones. They can erupt at odd angles, only partially come in, or overcrowd your already-established teeth. When this happens, they are likely to succumb to abscess and infections. If any of these conditions take place, it can be very uncomfortable and can affect your dentition. If you think you might have issues with wisdom teeth, it is important to see a Shishmaref dentist hastily.


If you need wisdom tooth removal, your dentist will determine how they will go about the extraction to make sure everything goes without complications. They will determine which of your wisdom teeth need to be removed and how complex it could get. They will also decide the appropriate type of anesthesia and the position of your existing vital anatomy such as nerves. Once they ascertain this information, they can extract your wisdom teeth more easily. When you come in for the procedure, you will receive the appropriate anesthesia option, so you will not feel discomfort. Your dentist will extract your teeth and monitor you the entire time to make sure you are doing well. Once your wisdom teeth are extracted, you will be provided with post-operative instructions. Fortunately, there are many Shishmaref dentists that accept Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield and can adeptly pull your wisdom teeth.

It is paramount for kids to visit the dentist twice a year for exams and cleanings. By teaching your children how to take care of their teeth, you are ensuring that they have the tools to have healthy smiles for life. If you are looking for a pediatric dental office in Shishmaref who accepts Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, you are on the right website.


In addition to offering checkups and cleanings, dentists on Doctors Network also provide your child with protective sealants. These are thin pieces of film that go over their molars. They work as a protective film that forms a shield between their molars and germs. This ultimately prevents the risk of cavities by up to eighty percent. It is a simple service that is very effective at preventing cavities in the future.


Fluoride treatments are another great tool that your pediatric dental professionals provide. Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that helps fortify your child’s teeth. While enamel is one of the most protective substances our bodies produce, it can still weaken over time. When this occurs, your little one’s teeth become more susceptible to decay. Fluoride treatment prevents this from happening. Using toothpaste that has fluoride can also help. To learn more, we invite you to schedule an appointment with one of our network dental professionals in Shishmaref.

Many people would be elated to have a whiter smile. When you walk down the aisles of any pharmacy, you see countless products that advertise their teeth whitening abilities. If you have purchased any of these, you know that they almost always provide disappointing results. However, professional tooth whitening can actually produce a brighter smile. If you are looking for a dentist in Shishmaref, AK that works with Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, we can help you find one that offers professional whitening.

When you visit your Shishmaref dental care provider, they can provide you with either an in-office or at-home treatment option. Should you opt for treatment in the office, you will only have to stay for roughly an hour. When you come in, your dentist will apply a bleaching gel to your front teeth that is then activated with a specialized light that removes discoloration.

If you would prefer to choose an at-home treatment, your dentist will give you a set of custom trays that you can use along with a safe peroxide or bleaching solution. You will wear these for a few hours each day for about 2 weeks. Once this treatment is complete, you will have a brighter smile. If you would like to request a consultation online with a Shishmaref dentist that takes Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, we can help you find the best ones.

It was so easy to find a doctor and make an appointment. I didn't have to take hours to call different offices and find out who takes my insurance and who doesn't.

I'm a freelancer, so I can't buy insurance easily, so I always ended up paying a lot for doctors' visits. I signed up for a Doctors Network dental plan, and my dental cleanings cost only $25 now. If you don't have dental insurance I highly recommend it.
